Processing about 2.4kg of fresh frozen cannabis.
My technique definitely needs to be improved, but that’s why we do this stuff and learn right?
I’m washing it 4 batches of 600g each. Next time I’ll probably make them smaller still.
I also feel like I am adding too much ice, even though I add less each time… the stuff frosts up and I’m sure it’s not getting the stuff in between the denser buds.
Even though, the returns are decent I would say, and I’m saving the washed bud for edibles, so nothings wasted. I’ll dial in the technique for next run. I collect the trichomes from the 25 and 74 micron bags, I’ll keep them separated and from there I’ll press it into hash rosin.

Is there a reason you're doing a wet wash vs dry ice? I've never done a water wash before, it always seemed unnecessarily messy and I've never been confident about freeze drying without a proper freezer dryer.
I did a bit of research before buying my hashi-washi (Bubbleator machine) and I was very intrigued. But it looks...unsafe? I don't want to handle my weed with protective gloves and googles. Washing is messy and the cleaning sucks. But I kind of want to keep my fingers.
Ahh, I already work in a lab setting. I guess I forget people can be uncomfortable around something like dry ice. Fair point.
